Young and talented or older and more experiences -- what do you think works better for a football team?

Or does there need to be a blend of both? That's something Jim Kleinpeter and I have been tossing around this morning and we'd love some input from anybody who wants to weigh in.

What better place to do so than a NOLA.com/lsu chat session?

Opening week of LSU football practice is in the books, the basketball recruiting trail is suddenly very interesting for the Tigers and baseball players are wrapping up a solid summer of work.

No shortage of material to bandy about as we start a new week and inch closer to the season opener against Wisconsin.

So how about joining me at 11 a.m. as we get the normal chat rotation set for the football season?
